Do you mean an extra £20k or a salary of £20k?
To be honest Helen I do not ever want to work as an accountant......I am a teacher and cannot see myself doing anything else.
If you are happy as a teacher then don't bother putting yourself through the accountancy studies. Only freaks actually enjoy it. I saw it very much as a means to an end.
I had been working in accounts when I had my children and decided to run my own business, my OH lost his job and came in with me which was a mistake, various things hit us including Foot & Mouth & we were earning less than £5k pa for a family of 5 people. Needing to earn money fast I got a job in accounts again in 1997 earning about £10k which gradually crept up to about £13k when I decided that rather than stay on this forever I would bite the bullet and do the exams. It took me three difficult years but I qualified in 2002 and am now earning £34k.
It isn't my dream job but I do enjoy the security of having more money coming in than going out (I'm absolutely with Mr Micawber on his definition of happiness).

I dont think that I could cut it as an accountant to be honest, I think general book keeping is more with in my capabilities:o
Feeling really sick of everything today, students have really got on my nerves today. I also feel very ripped off with the pay band I am on as I am doing over and beyond what is in my banding our department is in a total shambles so I cannot see me being moved up any time soon.
Maybe wine will help.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

Ahhh I will be fine, just having a bit whinge, this is the only place that takes a blind bit of notice to my troubles.
You see I am the one who can handle anything, who everyone else leans on, who asks for no help from anyone like I would get it anyway if I asked.
What I am trying to say is..............this is the only place where I am heard
Off to have a bit cry in my wine glass now.........God I am such a drama queen.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0
